Teri Meri Kahaani doesn’t work despite potential in the premise. It
feels soulless and superficial, and is unlikely to find many fans.I’m
going with two out of five for director Kunal Kohli’s Teri Meri Kahaani.
In one song, Shahid and Priyanka dance inside the Globe Theatre where
Shakespeare staged all his plays. Let’s just say the Bard will not be
pleased.

However, the film doesn't thrive on all accounts, there are a few dull
moments [the present-day story stagnates after a point and the pacing
tends to get unhurried, thus making you fidgety and impatient at times],
but buried in its experimental storytelling and innate performances is a
heartwarming tale that's gratifying and succeeds in planting a smile on
your face. Especially the way Kunal concludes the three stories! On the
whole, TERI MERI KAHAANI is uncomplicated and charming. Not the usual
romantic fare, this one presents three different stories in three
different eras without getting theatrical or melodramatic. Thanks to its
innovative storytelling, it comes across as the perfect date movie,
holding tremendous appeal for the Facebook Gen. TERI MERI KAHAANI is
pleasurable and fascinating in equal measures!

It is unlikely that the rather soulless Teri Meri Kahaani will last
beyond the first week in the multiplexes. The film is only two hours
long and yet it trudges down its hazy path rather sluggishly and, worse
still, goes nowhere in particular. Teri Meri Kahaani can be described as
rather harmless fun, if you are in a generous mood and can take its
convoluted ways with more than a fistful of salt.So there we go – back
to square one. Teri Meri Kahaani is pretty much like the loves of the
film’s male protagonist – it pours out all it has. But what is has
simply isn’t enough.

Teri Meri Kahaani, with its breezy running time (122 minutes) and frothy
leads, continues the tradition in a much better manner than I
anticipated. Kohli dilutes the chance of a wholesome, affable
entertainer down by his predilection for risk-free conclusions. What's
the point of telling three different love stories if you plan to give
them a similar finish off? The whole exercise seems plain cosmetic. But
till the point the make-up doesn't wear off, Teri Meri Kahaani is a far
better film than I came to see.

Kunal Kohli, in an attempt to create a large canvas to paint this
love-story - (using centuries, barriers of cultures, castes, customs and
costumes) - simply doesn't make the crossover (to the audiences, that
is). Even with a powerhouse of talent; the script lacks depth and fails
to ignite enough passion or chemistry for a love story. It's not devoid
of romance, cutesy conversations and sweet-somethings; but there are no
highs, lows, conflicts or complications that make you gush, or give you
gooseflesh.To put it simply, this story is - Boy meets girl. Period. Boy
meets girl. Period. And boy meets girl. Period...

The pace of the film becomes its biggest peeve: it is slow, there’s
absolutely no character development and gets boring after a point. Your
interest wanes as after the first story you know what’s happening in the
second and third. There’s so much style that substance takes a
back-seat, which is pitiable.Waiting for its television premier would be
a wiser choice to catch this kahaani.

But what is disappointing is the fact that in case of ‘Teri Meri
Kahaani’, neither his midas touch nor the polished star cast is able to
save the film’s fate.There is no doubt in the fact that the movie falls
flat for its weak plot and storyline which offers nothing new to the
audience which they would take home and cherish for days.All in all,
‘Teri Meri kahaani’ is not Kunal Kohli’s best work but still is a light
watch sans any vulgarity.

What’s Good: Shahid Kapoor’s versatility; beautiful, warm music; and the
old-film-feel minus the over-the-top melodrama.What’s Bad: The
extremely slow pace; the mindless love stories; and Priyanka Chopra’s
static acting.Verdict: An extremely slow movie where too much has been
attempted without any purpose… it all feels pointless.Teri Meri Kahaani
has proven to be quite disappointing and it can be easily avoided.
